TruckIT Samsara Integration | API Token
We walk you through the process of getting started with your TruckIT Samsara Integration
Samsara → Find your API token (API key)
1. Log in to Samsara
- Go to the Samsara Dashboard and sign in.
2. Open your Settings
- In the left navigation, click Settings (or the gear icon).
3. Navigate to API / Developer settings
- In Settings, look for one of these (wording can vary by account):
- API Tokens
- Developer Settings
- Integrations
- API
4. Create a new API token (recommended)
- Click Create token / Generate token / New API token
- Name it (recommendation): TruckIT Integration
- If Samsara prompts for Scopes/Permissions, choose the minimum needed for integration (common ones are read access for fleet/assets, drivers, vehicles, trips, sites, etc.). If you’re unsure, select the default read scopes and TruckIT can confirm what’s required.
5. Copy the token
- Click Copy and paste it somewhere secure temporarily.
Send the token to TruckIT securely
- Send the token to support@truckit.com and copy cbuell@truckit.com
What to include with the token
Include:
- Company name
- Best contact (name + email + phone)
Troubleshooting
- Can’t find “API Tokens”: they may need an Admin role. Ask them to have a Samsara admin generate the token.
- Token not visible again: create a new token—Samsara often won’t show the full token after you leave the page.
- Permission errors later: update token scopes/permissions or regenerate with the correct scopes.
